Meanwhile, in the societies of both countries there still are many stereotypes impeding the development of a Kyiv-Bucharest dialogue and its effectiveness.

Expert viewpoint

The potential of Ukrainian-Romanian relations is not fully exploited, as concluded by the organizers of the expert survey under the “Ukraine-Romania Relations: Perceptions, Perspectives, Priorities” Project designed to study the opinion of the academic community in both countries. The survey results have been presented in early December in Kyiv at a thematic conference co-organized by the Verkhovna Rada Committee on European Integration.
